I worked with Kevin Carter back in 1993/94 at a body shop in Uxbridge, he was a panel beater, drove a MK4 Ford Cortina 2.0S, a red one which I repainted for him. He eat Ham rolls nearly everyday and drank a lot of tea. He would have been pleased they wrote a song about him.
@@meritpoint funny, but not funny enough. That punchline doesn't deserve its set-up. The punchline must be funny enough to justify the means. This usually entails putting the humor in line with the tragic so that they are moving in the same direction. That way, the the power of the humor can be be assisted by the power of the tragedy, instead of working against the power of the tragedy by giving it a punchline that does not recognize, or tries to take away from, the power of the tragedy. One way to do this would be to actually increase the power of the tragedy with your punchline, so that the "power levels", so to speak, of humor and tragedy are both increasing over the course of the joke - they go in "the same direction". In a good joke, the power of the tragedy is inextricably linked to the power of the humor so that the sadder the joke becomes, the funnier it gets; but this can only occur after Humor and Tragedy have been linked by a trade relationship in which exchange can occur - Humor must first make contact by paying tribute to Tragedy. But I digress. Here is my ruling: The court finds you guilty on one count of felony cringe. I hereby sentence you to be called "cringe" and to remain with that label for no longer than 48 hours.

Insane the way he says Kevin Carter 2 times with an American soft T but the 3rd one is with a British hard T. A band full of weird curiosities like that.
No idea where you are getting this american nonsense, James is one of those rare sings, like the Proclaimers, that don't do phoney yank accents like Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Bono and all those twats.
Kevin Carter would not have wanted to see what society was destined to become because no one was willing to say no, as long as they could get a little better off themselves. I respect their choices to check out. Not everyone is cut out for this life. If you cannot enjoy serving yourself, then the 21st century offers thin spiritual gruel. It's a shame there's no journalism left to create a scholarship for.
I just read about him.. Always thought it was a fictional character but i should of known really it would run deeper..what with MSP being so politically driven...🎸🙂
One month away from 2025 and this song sounds as incredible as it did when I first heard it in Oct 1996. It is a pure masterpiece...the way it marches on with that jagged guitar. I love it to pieces. And I remember Kevin Carter's work on The Star, the newspaper we had in Johannesburg, but I didn't make the connection immediately. He was a great looking guy who had defended the rights of blacks in SA but saw too much cruelty through his camera. His friend & colleague was killed a few months before Kevin very sadly took his own life. What a wonderful tribute this song is to him. ❤
Yeah! ❤I've experienced this recently, 😢🎉 hav8ng broken my hip on holidayin Aberdovey, no paramedics for 8 hours. Had to go 30 miles in our own car to Aberystwyth! They had hold of me horizontally! Quickest way to get me in! One guy peeped round and smiled reassuringly. 🎉 I immediately felt a bit calmer! The N.H.S. is 💔. The only abuse I suffered was from one particularly arrogant horrid doctor! He ignored the weak😮 and avoided the 💪 I have a particularly loud voice, and have spent 6 week trying to defend the weak and poorly ones😢.
I never knew that before. I've read up about Kevin Carter and looked at some of his images. Amazing work. Such a tragedy. Still listening to the song in 2024.
Very apt. Mostly as they consider themselves socialists and spport socialist nations but socialists literally kill the intelligentsia class every time it is put into practice. The irony
@@robertstitches9517 Richey was on fire at the time, and they were all on fire too. James and Sean are geniuses, and Nicky played his part in between hoovering.
I was reading Fergal Keane's book titled The Madness and when he mentioned to death and suicide of his colleague Kevin Carter I instantly made the connection to this song. I haven't heard this track in a very long time and never knew the context behind the track. It's a cracking track. R.I.P to Kevin Carter and I'm so sorry the pain of witnessing the worst of humanity was too much for him to bare.
This is the most important Manics song by a mile. As it's a story about Kevin Carter, who ended his life. The song was written by Richey Edwards shortly before he disappeared.
Richey wrote the lyrics and the rest of the guys wrote the song. JDB played the song to Richey on an acoustic guitar before he disappeared. They specifically released this as a single from A Design For Life after Richey disappeared in the hope he was in hiding, would hear the song and let them know he was OK. Sadly, it never happened. Next year, it will be 30 years since he left a London hotel and was never seen again. Maybe his sister will forgo the round of interviews that comes on every major anniversary. She's said everything that can be said. She misses him. The whole case doesn't make any sense and the police bungled it from day 1. We'll never know what happened.
I first saw that famous pic of Kevin Carter when i was a kid, but I did not give it a second thought. Thanks to the song for reminding me of him and his life... there are someone we should never forget...
👋 It appears that Richey may well still be alive. I hope so. 🎉 May be abroad somewhere 🤔 But if he has died, he will be safe in God's hands & will come back to live a beautiful life in Paradise on the 🌎 Rock on Manics ! ❤
Intelligent & thought provoking , MSP has, and continue to inspire fans to seek out books, art, ideas that educate. One of the few contemporary bands that have a "manifesto", a club were artistic themes, poetry, photography etc were deemed important.
Too bad they're so unknown here in the U.S. but I've been reading British music magazines a long time -known about them since the beginning. Great song 🤘
Massive respect to Mr Carter and all human and environmentalist journalists and photographers. Being true to your profession and heart can and will take a very big toll on your life. R.I.P Kevin Carter et al 🙏🏼❤️✊🏼
Was at a darkness gig a few year ago met up with a few south african journalists and photographers doing a piece on them and none had heard of kevin carter must be no more bang bang club
Your comment made me I wish that I was back in the 1990s again, in my childhood bedroom, playing Everything Must Go over and over and over and over again. The nostalgia is beautifully painful...
Yeah, Sean is a very prolific musician. He actually taught James how to play guitar as well. If it was me, watching how incredibly gifted a guitarist James is, I'd be like: "I taught him" 🤣 I have in turn taught a few people how to play. One in particular got so much better than me. Beforehand, he didn't have a musical bone in his body 😁 I'm very proud of it to this day.
Based on the book about the 'Bang Bang Club' the name given to a group of photojournalists one of whom was Kevin Carter from South Africa who documented the last years of apartheid and the violence caused by its disintegration, it's an amazing but harrowing account of this period of history but well worth the read. Brilliant song by the way written by the beautiful genius Richard Edwards.
No I didn't Google it thanks, some of us do actually read books. He did take a photo of a child dying from the famine in Sudan, but he also took thousands of other photos as you would expect from a photojournalist. The name 'The Bang Bang Club' is taken from the title of the book which is about the last years of apartheid in South Africa which if you had read it you would know.
Well I guess you could say that Kevin Carter and Richard Edwards had quite a bit in common, although the latter one's fate is still a bit of a mystery.
Missing person....Richey Edwards, 1st Feb 1995, he was an intelligent guy academically, well read, good with words, BUT he couldn't find a way to live, he couldn't find peace of mind. You see, in life, without having peace of mind in your life, and if you are feeling tormented by guilt, shame or just your own thoughts are driving you crazy ...then........... your life will be very hard, and it will lead to massive depression, and is some cases tragedy. Peace of mind is everything.
One of the best 3 piece rock/pop bands ever. They easily stand alongside Rush, Budgie, The Police, Supergrass, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, ZZ Top, Nirvana, etc.
i should've known before about them!! This type of music is what i wanted to hear in years , How times in music has changed then i 'd rather hear classic videos from 90 to 2009 years ,rare to hear 2010,2011,2012..... (some few interesting songs) 2013,1014,2015 and 2016 ( None of these years in good music, it's really bad). When i knew the complete work from maniacs i really starts to love them !! Love the way how james dean bradfield puts his high and low notes in every part of the songs,his voice is great,powerful ,brilliant I don't know how express myself of emotions it brings out off my mind !!! God puts his hands upon their souls
There's lots of amazing music from 2016 to 2024. I needed Spotify to help me find it. Some is made by people my age (50), and the younger artists are learning from 70s to 90s. It's great to hear.
Strong, Classy, Visionary video...brings emotions and the story to the fore. The images of the photographer "shooting" each of the band members in turn was extremely well done. Along with A Design For Life my favourite videos from the Manics.
Wales incredible Euro run brought me here. What an incredible band. Not just a few good songs, they had bags full of them. LOVE Nicky Wire, a kinda ordinary bass player but he has such presence and occupies his space in a very compelling way.
Yes, i’d say he was pretty unusual.. hard to spot with the bass unless you listen to mostly guitar stuff. Uniqueness that can only come from learning by the seat of your pants and instinct and not concerning yourself with muso musicianship but just trying to forge something fresh and personal that serves as a counterpoint to an exceptional musician such as James D and Sean too of course, seeing as his input is vast also
My dad new someone who went to the same wedding that Sean Moore went to. The persons daughter recognised him and couldn't stop staring, he noticed and went over to talk to them. Sounds like a really cool dude
I once had a lollipop that I later threw on the same ground that I realise Madonna could have walked on, if she ever visited me and stood nearby my bin in the same area where a lollipop would fall if you threw it and missed the bin. So proud.
None of their songs are about trivial subjects. Each one teaches you about something. Who else could open a song with the line: "Libraries gave us power" ?
“I'm really, really sorry. The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist. ...depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners ... I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky.”
hope you joined Ken and found peace from all the horrors this earthly domain showed you. it had so many beauties to offer that you missed out on, but the Lord had another mission for you. you showed us what we had to see through the eye of your lens. i hope we learned from it.
I've just spent an hour of listening to britpop... This song has brought back more memories than anything... Blur, Cast, Terrorvision, Elastica, Menswear, Pulp, Stereophonics, Supergrass, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede, Dodgy etc etc. What a band
I bumped into these guys (bang bang club) in Alrode one day. We just came from Phola Park repairing an underground cable and it was not safe in the town ship and we warned them don’t go their, but they did. I didn’t even know who they were until Ken died and Madiba was on tele condemning the killing of journalists 😮
Ah one of my faves! Saw them at Victorious Festival a few weeks ago and it was particularly powerful ESP with the trumpet part. They are an amazing band!
A quality tune from one of the most underrated bands ever, Kevin Carter sadly committed suicide after recording the horrors of what happened in the racist South Africa at the time but at least his work will live on, a period of time we should not forget and remember that hate and prejudice has no place in this world life is too short, RIP Richey Edwards
Actually what was recored as pushing him was his time recording the famine in Sudan especially the picture about the girl and the vulture and the guilt he had afterwards
hiya guys im just from u in aberfan merthyr tydfil wen new album coming james dean and all the group ,would love you writing soungs like this again love all your music massive love from south wales xxxx
I worked with Kevin Carter back in 1993/94 at a body shop in Uxbridge, he was a panel beater, drove a MK4 Ford Cortina 2.0S, a red one which I repainted for him. He eat Ham rolls nearly everyday and drank a lot of tea. He would have been pleased they wrote a song about him.

Pity he killed himself though.
Killed himself when that paint job faded to pink.

Hehe I like it
That’s called moulding words/lyrics to fit the song. Yes clever.
The emphasis of Ts is something we do when we want to spit it
Love it! The British t really emphasises the name doesn't it
No idea where you are getting this american nonsense, James is one of those rare sings, like the Proclaimers, that don't do phoney yank accents like Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Bono and all those twats.

I met Nicky Wire in Cardiff a few years back, he was unspoilt and charming, class act.
aww, thats nice
Was that before or after he said he wished Michael Stipe would die?
I met Sean Moore
I met Nicky in a Super Furry Animals gig in Tenby in 1999, he signed my ticket 😊
Click, click, click, click, click... click himself under......!!! Superb!!
Great tribute to Kevin Carter, an outstanding photographer who saw saw scenes of such misery and suffering that he tragically took his own life.

The nostalgia is beautifully painful...
still listening in 2020 anyone
Yep
👌🍀💚
Stop asking that for likes of course we are
Yup. Twice a day.
Of course a song from my chemical youth
Never seen Nicky wearing his bass so high up. It adds a 60s look to his playing.
Yes, that and the Rickenbacker.
The day the Manics start becoming irrelevant is the day i will stop listening to music. Still great even today
Nice trumpet solo by Sean moore, he plays on ocean spray as well.

The best band ever!
What I love about this song is that there's not a single photo of or by its main subject.
Smart move.
Based on the book about the 'Bang Bang Club' the name given to a group of photojournalists one of whom was Kevin Carter from South Africa who documented the last years of apartheid and the violence caused by its disintegration, it's an amazing but harrowing account of this period of history but well worth the read. Brilliant song by the way written by the beautiful genius Richard Edwards.
Angela Burgess Or if you're not the bookish type you can download the movie of the same name. :P
Angela Burgess If your googling stuff, it was the famine in the sudan
No I didn't Google it thanks, some of us do actually read books.

Forgot how good this band is
How can only 3 people make such beautiful noise?
Easy, listen to the jam and see where it all started
Overdubs
listen to dinosaur jr, they perfected it.
ask muse.. they did it too.. but not so much anymore.. or nirvana.. but oh well.. only the good for young
Ask Motorhead and Rush, Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience...

This is just brilliant in every respect, Richey ❤
what a classic tune...
I like that Sean does his own stunts in this
Amazing Band..........great tune..........sad story
James is so beautiful
He is one of its kind :)
I've just spent an hour of listening to britpop... This song has brought back more memories than anything... Blur, Cast, Terrorvision, Elastica, Menswear, Pulp, Stereophonics, Supergrass, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede, Dodgy etc etc. What a band
I bumped into these guys (bang bang club) in Alrode one day. We just came from Phola Park repairing an underground cable and it was not safe in the town ship and we warned them don’t go their, but they did. I didn’t even know who they were until Ken died and Madiba was on tele condemning the killing of journalists 😮
Still love this song
"The Eye it cannot choose but see"
The end quote to the video 👁 .... and then some research on Paul Virilio .... very interesting 👍❣
powerful tribute
Makes me proud to be Welsh
Rightfully so, y'all make some of the best music!!!
Ah one of my faves!
Saw them at Victorious Festival a few weeks ago and it was particularly powerful ESP with the trumpet part.
They are an amazing band!
this came out when i was in high school, nice memories
Sean!!!!
sensacional!!!!!!!
BRILLIANT
Loving this song
The best song on the album I think.
Because it took 6 years for the publishers to be brought back to consciousness after hearing this because it's that good.
I think it took me twenty years to realise the awesome that this band perpetuates o7
A quality tune from one of the most underrated bands ever, Kevin Carter sadly committed suicide after recording the horrors of what happened in the racist South Africa at the time but at least his work will live on, a period of time we should not forget and remember that hate and prejudice has no place in this world life is too short, RIP Richey Edwards
Actually what was recored as pushing him was his time recording the famine in Sudan especially the picture about the girl and the vulture and the guilt he had afterwards
